4. The lady's maid says, "My Lady is ready to make her toilet and wants her comb. The player who is the comb must jump up, turn around quickly and repeat his name, 'Comb' before sitting down again. The lady's maid will continue calling out people's names.

6. The player without a chair is the new maid in the middle.
